People often say the late 60's were the height of America. What made that time so great?

I simply imagine it as the U.S. having grown from a virgin land without existing wealth stagnating innovation combined with the successes of world war 2 creating an optimal society. People not hyper technical like they are today and not nearly as removed from nature as they are today. The perfect environment for pre-cyborg humanity.

But that's just me guessing. What made 1960's America so great? Was it the optimal environment for humans? Since we are fighting the globalist vision of humanity (no middle class + total domination of the lower class, etc) maybe we should have our own vision of what society should be. Maybe 1960's America would not be a bad prototype.

One thing I agree with the globalists on is cars. We design our cities around these fucking things. They are a tax on the poor and a status symbol for everyone else. They create a truly horrific way of life when you have to spend time in rush hour traffic every day. People should still be free to go wherever they want in a car but it's gotten kind of ridiculous.

1965 was the year the hart celler act was passed which changed america's demographics forever.

Yep and post-War economic boom. I don't know if it was actually the height of America. It was a high. The last high.

Really depends on what you define as "great" and who you ask.

If you look from the perspective of a pioneer or frontiersman, then there is probably an optimal time from the 1850s to 1890s.

From a farmer's perspective, maybe it was from 1900 to 1930.

From a city-dweller perspective, then the 1950s to 1960s might be the optimal time, due to huge productivity, big salaries, lots of land to build on, very compatible neighbors, and the 'nuclear' family providing for a very high general 'happiness' factor.

Since the cities have now grown, been diversified by force, (((media))) has consolidated, voices of the mentally ill are now prominently featured and supported, etc - there is a very big decline in the 'happiness' factor for most people.

don't forget the fucking (((taxes))) going up everywhere, so even farmers are getting fucked.

The 60s up to and ending at 1964. I could be overly optomistic...

People lived in a world where their money had real buying power. Everything was cheap and plentiful. Education was cheap and minimum wage was high. Unskilled workers could get well paid factory jobs.

They could remember the fifties booming economy and had hope they could do this again.

So many middle class people that the economy would create countless inventions, companies and wealth.

The middle class was growing because they had solid money and the economy wasn't the fixed casino that it has become with the winners already picked.

The masons hadn't turned the judicial system into a racketeering scam.

Mkultra was just a research program rather than the full scale gaslighting, gangstalking and mind control program that's aimed at all dissidents and now the whole population.

No one would dare trample American rights and the constitution like they do now.

You had lots of privacy from the government.

You could be as offensive as you liked and not have a rage mob trying to fire you.

Women wanted to be wives and mothers.

It was a freer, optimistic, simpler and more carefree society.

It was great because anyone could be middle class if they worked for it.

Book excerpt time!

As an example of ingrained propaganda, think back to the 1950s. If you weren’t alive then, think about what you might know about the decade–what events happened, how people lived, how they thought, what the world looked like. What is your conception of that time? Did you know that most of the social troubles we have today were fomented in the early 1950s? Some of the most powerful psychological tools used today to control people and keep them compliant were developed and deployed during that period. Modern media presentations of the 1950s give an image of a “spic and span” world, triumphant off a war. It’s portrayed–purposely–as a “white utopia” that media now says is a “regrettably racist, yet squeaky-clean vestige of traditionalism.” This is a psychological programming tool. The 1950s were made to appear “perfect,” because people who lived through them still remembered true social freedom. The National Firearms Act of 1934, for example, was still recent news. People who were still having kids could remember mail-ordering tommy guns.

It was essential to paint a very specific picture of the era while deploying linguistic (and otherwise) weapons against whites to keep them from revolting en masse. In the years since the 1950s, the media’s portrayal of the decade has had the effect of polluting your idea of how society should look. It’s not a coiffed housewife in a perfect home with 2.5 kids, a white picket fence, and dad coming home from the office to smoke a pipe in the evening. Think of how many times you’ve seen that presentation of the era in history books, media, or elsewhere. That’s a sterile, controlled prison, made to look nice for the photo-op. The media, since the 1950s, has been very careful to make the decade look good and to present it as an “ideal” lifestyle. Why? Because we’ve only lost freedoms since then. Three generations have been born in the interim, and much of the real story of the past is long forgotten. We’re told that we are “free” today, but we have lost freedoms in every way imaginable.

You can’t imagine a world where you can legally enter, barefoot, places that prepare food, or one in which you can mail-order any sort of gun. You can’t conceive of being told, “Be home by dark!” and that meaning even being allowed to hitch a ride on the train to the next town as long as you came home before you couldn’t see at all. You have no frame of reference for taking your rifle to school and leaning against the wall in class. Most of you probably don’t even know what an M80 is, and the idea of buying an entire stick of dynamite (or a bottle of morphine) at the general store is probably outside of your imagination. You think it’s “sensible” to require licenses for vehicles, weapons, or to practice medicine. You don’t know what it’s like to live without a human registration number of some sort (SSN). You can’t imagine being truly free, because the words and concepts themselves have been stolen from you. So you settle for looking good. And what “looks good” today? Thanks to the jewish media, the 1950s. The media wants you to embrace their version of the 1950s. Their words. Their concepts. Their thoughts. If you embrace what it represents, you will always be trapped by what it led to–today.

i don't understand why portraying the 1950s as a utopia traps or harms us in any way. Wouldn't it be better to portray that area as not as good so we are less aware of what we lost?

Because '1950s as a utopia' has always been an unobtainable goal based on jew lies and human nature says "If you cant beat them join them".

The (Jewish written) 1965 immigration act was passed and free love propaganda was rampant. In the 60’s Jews went in to overdrive with feminism, civil rights, and Israel support. The 60’s were arguably the start of clownworld.

Hairy Pussy and real titties made the 60's great.
